And the very next day
Oh dear, trans ideology chalks up another loss, how sad, never mind.
A trans woman who complained to police about social media posts made by a “gender critical” man has lost a High Court challenge of the force’s decision to take no further action against him.
Lynsay Watson complained to Greater Manchester Police (GMP) in February 2023, about more than 15 posts made on X by Stuart Campbell related to the murder of teenager Brianna Ghey, who was also transgender, that month.
Mr Campbell, who was described by his lawyers as “gender critical” or a “biological realist”, said Brianna was a “trans-identifying boy”, adding: “Human beings can’t change sex. Being murdered doesn’t alter that.”
Imagine complaining to the police about that.
The judge said: “(GMP) was entitled, and correct, to conclude that posts did not cross the threshold to be considered objectively ‘grossly offensive’.” She continued: “The defendant’s conclusion properly reflected society’s fundamental values of free speech, including the need for tolerance of statements and opinions that some might find offensive or upsetting.” She added: “(GMP) was justified, and right, in concluding that to proceed further with the investigation was not appropriate.”
Especially when the statements and opinions at issue were not being shouted into Lynsay Watson’s face in a threatening bullying manner – they were just sentences on social media.
How does Watson even have standing here? He wasn’t a friend or relative of Ghey, was he?
“A crime report was opened after Ms Watson’s complaint to GMP, but in June 2023 a police sergeant and inspector deemed that the relevant offence of sending an electronic communication with intent to cause distress or anxiety had not been committed.”
Sorry, buddy, telling you that you’re really a man, and that Brianna Ghey was really a boy is not intended to cause distress or anxiety. It’s just the truth, and if the truth gives you distress and anxiety, that’s between you and your therapist.
Unfortunately, it did not cause Watson quite enough disbelief.
While we’re on the topic, is that the same Lindsay Watson who was sacked as a police officer for …being abusive to people online?

And this clod who sends abusive messages by the thousands was complaining about fifteen messages that only said an inconvenient truth? Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.
Better late than never – yes, it is – he’s the guy behind SEEN POLICE OFFICIAL on twitterx. I’ve only just found that out, thanks to some new stupid tweets from him.
